I've always liked Dakotas. I think they're better than the Kimbers, at least as far as I know. A real classic would have been the original 7mm, the 7X57. I wouldn't mind trading my Caprivi in on a 375 H&H in a Classic Deluxe, Safari, etc. I don't hunt big game with a rifle anymore, so it doesn't make much sense to sink a lot of money into them. Like I said about my Caprivi, it's not really worth worrying about it. Nothing really special.

The higher grade Winchesters are a solid value, too. I have a standard grade Featherweight in 257 Roberts I could turn into something else.

I have a riddle for you. What is the difference in extraction between the Mauser 98 and the Model 70? Why is the 98 better?
